Breeding faba bean for resistance to Orobanche spp: past research and future orientation
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the important pulse crops grown in
many parts of the world. Its production and productivity are affected by different
biotic and abiotic stresses. Broomrape (Orobanche and Phelipanche ...
Orobanche crenata on Faba bean in Tadla Region (Morocco): Importance and training activities for farmers
The broomrape (Orobanche crenata Forsk), parasitic plant, causes
significant damage to food legumes in the Taghzirte region (Tadla, Morocco) and is
the origine of very significant decrease in the reserved area for these ...
Current status of Faba bean production in Egypt
In Egypt, the cultivated area off Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has decreased since last
decade .The cultivated area devoted to faba bean in Egypt was 322 thousand faddan in
1997/98-2001/02 seasons declined to only 98 thousand ...
Advances, challenges and opportunities in cool-season food legumes in dry area
Cool-season food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea) are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas because these crops are a great source of nutritious food, feed, and income to small ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
A genomic toolkit for improvement of faba bean
My group has led the collaborative development of a set of over 950
SNP markers for Vicia faba; of these approximately 650 have been mapped so far.
Our current consensus linkage map of faba bean consists of just 6 linkage ...
Status and prospects of food legumes improvement in Morocco
In Morocco, faba bean, chickpea and lentil are being grown under rainfed
conditions and play an important role in cereal-based cropping systems. Food
legumes improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and ...
Crop breeding for the development of climate resilient crops: Approaches at ICARDA
Crop production has been challenged by abiotic and biotic constraints since its inception. However, the magnitude and intensity of these stresses are increasing dramatically due to climate change causing recurrent droughts, ...
